High Point

This is a pretty chill route from the greenway up to Looking Glass and back. Can be done either on a gravel bike or a road bike (take the road instead of gravel when connecting to 276 - the line shown in red on the map). There's little elevation gain and a very nice view at the end. I'd recommend avoiding this route during peak traffic periods (summer weekends) as a good chunk of this is on 276. The greenway is pretty heavily trafficked so I wouldn't approach this as a fitness ride on a road bike. This is a nice off-day/casual scenic ride.
